2. Automatically update legacy format when saving...

   When working on an older version of illustrator - when you save, you get a notice about saving in a legacy format. I would like a preferences option to automatically save in the latest version when working on legacy files. Right now I have to use save as.

3. Merge multiple vector files files

   It would be very beneficial if you could target two or more files (.ai/.svg./eps/pdf) and merge all artboards in each of those files into one new document. There are scripts out there to merge multiple files but they often ignore the original artboard size or only merge the first artboard in each of the source files. This would save so much production time such as for Ui design, merging stock assets.

   Thank you for reading!

6. SVG import/export destroys details for SVG-files generated by Inkscape

   Whenever I open a SVG-file in Illustrator that was generated by Inkscape, very frequently details are destroyed. A message appears stating that "round-way to tiny" may have exactly done this.
   This bug makes it impossible to collaboratively work on figures with colleagues that do not use Illustrator, but Inkscape instead.

   I am using Illustrator CC 22.1.

7. Export for Screens - Please add EMF as an option

   I have hundreds of EPS icon files I need to convert for use in PowerPoint which means they need to be in EMF, EMZ or WMF format. The Asset Export tool is amazing and would be perfect for this task, but unfortunately EMF is not an export option. Thanks!

8. PDF export setting sorted alphabetically

   It would be nice if the Illustrator PDF export preset dropdown would be sorted alphabetically instead of, what looks like, random. Indesign does this perfectly, why not Illustrator?

9. Save Session

   Sometimes when working on a project I'll have a few tabs open. I know I can save all the files in one spot and open them when needed but the ability to recall a set of tabs to open when needed would be great. That way I can shut down a full project, start a new one and then come back to the previous tabs when needed.

   I'm thinking under File adding a prompt to "Save Session" > Name the session.

   To open the session have it under File > Open Session

   Sometimes I'll leave illustrator open with way to many tabs because of how many projects I'm working on at times. Having this feature will help get rid of the clutter a bit.

   Aloha.

10. Retrieving an unsaved file

    Enable an option to retrieve a file within a certain time period, that was closed but not saved. This would be useful when a file is closed in error. This happened to me and I lost a days work. Silly error but easily done as I had a swatch box obscuring the file tab and closed it by mistake. Unfortunately because I then tried to reopen the file, the snapshot in the data recovery file was the re opened unsaved version so I had lost all of the previous 4 hours work.
    Therefore, if it was possible that AI could have a memory recall option of 15 minutes, it would allow someone to re open and save their work or maybe if AI could spot that a lot of work has been created but not saved- could it ask twice if you definitely want to close the file without saving?!
    Thanks

12. Save for Web dialog does not remember all customized settings

    We create web posting formats of figures in Illustrator and my customized settings do not save. Why do we have the option of Save Settings....when they do not save?

    File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy) > Name > Custom setting named and save.

    The Custom setting retains one of the defaults, in my case PNG-24, but does not retain any numerical measurements that IO enter beneath it.

    We save many files with the same specs for our web posts. Why do I have a custom option to Save Settings when they only save a default. What's the point? Can you please make them save ALL of the settings?

13. SVG export option to export global Color Swatches as CSS Custom Properties

    In addition to classes and IDs, CSS custom properties (aka. CSS variables) are a great way to style SVG Content.
    Conceptually they are closest to Illustrators global color swatches.

    I propose to add an Option to SVG Export of Adobe Illustrator to turn named global color swatches into CSS custom properties.

    Example:

    Original Output:
    fill: #456; stroke: #abc;

    New Output:
    fill: var(--medium-grey, #456) ; stroke: var(--dark-grey, #abc);

    Web applications could use the custom properties, to quickly create color-variations of an illustration.

    Example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/KQwpJR/

    An additional option could be a compatibility mode for the styling options "Inline Style" and "Internal CSS", that adds an additional fallback for browsers, that don't support custom properties at all:

    fill: #456; fill: var(--medium-grey, #456);

    This fallback should be opt-in, since it increases file size.

    Use-Cases:

    • Theming of Icon-Sets (like http://www.streamlineicons.com/ux/)
    • Branding and Color Variations
    • Definition of CMYK and Spot Colors Versions in Print Stylesheets or other applicable Media
    • Animating Color Transitions with CSS (example: https://codepen.io/g12n/pen/aEMaNz/)

    Additional Resources:

14. LessTime saving files

    Hello,

    as designers we come across slow process saving in a heavy illustrated files (too many vectors) when these vectors are shifted a bit or edit a text, the file needs to be saved again and it wastes a lot of time.

    The solution here is using the smart technology (adobe sensei) which it will compare the files and saves accordingly -to check if the text has any amendments, and accordingly takes action in the saving process from within- and this tech to be applied on other elements.

16. Shapes created in Photoshop should be paste as vector in Illustrator.

    Shapes created in Photoshop should be paste as a vector in Illustrator.

    After all Photoshop and Illustrator belong to the same family, So at-least we users expect this little ability to have this ease of use.

    Please do include this capability.

    Thanks.

17. Locked files on SMB shares (macOS)

    There is a weird file-locking problem when files are opened and saved from/to smb volumes mounted on macOS. If files are saved and closed there is still a locking on the files. So colegues are not able to delete/replace this files. There is no problem if the afp-protocol is used. For this reason we had to disable smb-sharing on our server, because macOS uses smb as default if available. (Illustrator 21.1.0 - but at least from version 19 on)

18. Allow the app to send projects to Sketch

    If I want to outline a drawing in Illustrator Draw but color it in Photoshop Sketch, right now I have to save it to the creative cloud as PSD. There should be an option where I can open the full project in Sketch app, in both apps where in Photoshop Sketch I can choose to either import a project from Illustrator Draw, or while in Draw I can export a project to Photoshop Sketch.

19. Export quality for EMF or WMF

    When exporting to emf or wmf formats to get editable vectors into PowerPoint the details in curves or small marks get all messed up. For example the details of a registered trade mark on a logo will be distorted or the curve of a letter o will become choppy. This is a huge issue for us and I'm hoping quality settings like the options provided for exporting and svg would fix the issue.

    Thank You
